You won't find many bands with a more interesting history than Melechesh. Before the band's show in Derby of their first ever tour of the UK, I had a chat with Ashmedi about the band's beginnings in Jerusalem, and the story since. Have a look at the video below to see how it went:

Met Ashmadi at the Nile gig last night. He's a pretty down to earth guy. And they seemed to really love Ireland which was nice
I was kind of taken back by how cool he was because I would have imagined most black metal musicians to be dry shites who have no time for their fans. These guys aren't. Great review

Is this just me or the guy seems really uninterested. He answered every question with a kind of indifferent attitude.
I thought the band has always been very passionate about their music, maybe he's just drunk/tired/lazy and got caught in the moment..
